Modern Bedroom Set

I've just finished uploading my Modern Bedroom Set, it will be available to download from the 10th October. It contains 3 new meshes: bed, dresser and armoire. Here's a preview...

A job interview

Sorry I haven't been updating much, I unexpectedly got given a job interview for tomorrow! I've been looking for work for a while, and I desperately need a job, but the job hunt has been fruitless for a while so I wasn't expecting to get an interview all of a sudden!
Anyway, be assured, whether I get the job or not, once I get past the stress of the interview, I'll be back to updates as normal!

I've nearly finished my long male hair with a bandana... I'm just trying to think of a pattern to put on the bandana, so that at least should be published tomorrow or Tuesday to keep things going in between!

New Poll

I got the feeling everyone was ready for a new poll and this one concerns comments. Feel free to comment on here and let me know anything else you want to say about them.

The last poll had 212 participants.
The overwhelming result was that you want shiny new things in neutral colors.

Bright, new, modern, shiny heading things up at 36%
Classic looks had 24%
Country or homey look was 14%

Neutral Colors were a huge 41%
Bold colors and Pastels tied for 2nd place at 16%

I'll see what I can do to work with this. You may have noticed more neutral colors already. Will try to fit the rest in as I have time.
Thanks for helping me give you more of what you want!

I wish someone would help me!

I am STILL having a lot of problems creating recolors of new object meshes!

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong here? Ok, I open SimPE. I click Open, find the file I want to recolor (not the mesh, but a recolor in game), and do it like a regular recolor-exporting the png file, recoloring it, and then importing it. I update all sizes, or whatever it says to update, and then I click "commit" and then I click "save as" and then save it in my own name and put it in the downloads folder, just like I do regular recolors.

It never shows up in my game!!!! What am I doing wrong here??? Am I supposed to just save over the recolor I recolored, instead of saving it as a new name? Why would I do that, if I still want that original recolor in my game? GRRRRRRRRR!!!

A Haunting We Will Go!

I have put together some interesting wallcoverings for those of you who are into old, creepy houses. There will be 3 different sets (wallpaper/paneling/siding), for you to choose from. I thought it would be nice to supply a selection of wallcoverings for you so you can decorate your own .... old, haunted dwellings! All of the interior wallcoverings (wallpaper/Paneling) are new .... but you might recognize some of the sidings. I have used a few of them for some of my houses.

New house by request

Comments

First off, the last poll was a bit of a joke. I couldn't really come up with anything and I generally put up a new poll when I release something new to download. Since most people don't really know me anyway, I didn't figure most people would actually have an opinion on whether they liked me or not. Anyway, here are the final results:

Do you like me?
Yes 48.1% (38)
No 2.53% (2)
Maybe so 10.13% (8)
What? 39.24% (31)

I love that many people chose the What? option. That is what I would have done.

Comments:

I LOVE comments. I really, really love comments. Some downloaders have gifted me with some really well thought out comments that have made my entire day when I read them. Don't think comments aren't appreciated by any creator, because they truly are. Comments on items and comments in my guestbook are always welcome and make me happy.

There is some debate, however, on what is the appropriate response to comments. No one wants to be rude or come off as unappreciative to someone who has taken the time to comment on your work. But sometimes there are so many comments, it takes hours to go through and reply to all of them. And then, sometimes comments have been copied and pasted on all items in a set-either due to English not being the commenters first language or just laziness or just to get kudos.

If a comment is sincere, I try to get back to you. Even if it is a copied and pasted comment, I reply back. But I have been slack lately in replying to all my comments, even though I read them all. So, I want your opinion on what is expected of me. Vote! Comment here!

Luscious gown for elder coming soon

I'll submit these this weekend. I'll only show the black one here. I also have a brown one. My model is an elder so that you can see how slim and refined your elders will look.

Twenties Dresses

I'll get back to the Prisoner lots in due time, but for present I am feeling the urge to do more in ladies' clothing... or something along those general lines. At any rate, I have inflicted a few enchancements upon the flapper dress mesh that came with "Sims: Nightlife" (pearls, stockings, gloves, and strapped shoes) and hope to bring out a few dress designs to make the most of these... if the first gets approved, that is.

Forum Stories

In case some of you didn't know, I have two stories in the TSR Forums. If you need help as to how to get to them, PM me and I'll reply with a link.

You can find The Attic, which is already complete, there.

And you can find A Death's Wish there as well.

A Death's Wish is the one I'm currently working on along side of The Fisher Legacy here at TSR's main site.
